Topic - requiring road improvements to include bike lanes and/or sidewalks.

Pros - 1. May save more accidents involving bikes. Cars are much bigger than Bikes, and could cause a fatality.
2. More and more people are riding bikes.http://seattlebikeblog.com/2011/09/27/census-seattle-bike-commuting-rises-22-in-1-year-city-claims-2-spot-in-us/
3. Encourage more people to ride bikes, which saves you a lot of money.
